Family is everything. Going through the loss of close family members taught me just how short life really is. When our time here ends, all that remains are the photos and videos we leave behind. I’m so thankful for my mom and dad for capturing my childhood. Now it’s my turn. :)
When I’m not working:
I love connecting with people and supporting great causes. My heart goes out to animals, so I offer pro bono work for high-risk dog shelters and discounted sessions for clients with terminally ill pets.

AUTHENTIC moments over perfection.
You want your life captured naturally. I shoot with Super 8 film and camcorders because it’s messy, nostalgic, and REAL. I’ll catch all the fun stuff so you can just enjoy being with your family.
Don't worry, I won't just leave you hanging to figure out poses on your own! I’ll give you guidance and direction when you need it, but my main focus is capturing the genuine moments as they happen. The goal is a final film that feels completely, genuinely you.

To secure a new date: I will apply your existing retainer and all payments made to a new date, provided I am available. I ask that you give me as much notice as possible.
Availability: If I am unavailable for your new date, the retainer is non-refundable, as I held your original date exclusively and likely turned away other potential clients.
Fees: A rescheduling fee may apply if the new date is a premium day (like a Saturday) or if the new date is more than one year after the original event date.

While I plan to be there no matter what, life happens! In the super rare case of a emergency, I’ve got you covered with two choices:
A trusted associate steps in: I’ll send a pro from my network to step in and handle everything seamlessly.
A full refund: If you’d prefer, we will provide a complete refund of all payments made.
Either way, I’ll make sure you’re taken care of, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
